Would you use a screwdriver to brush your teeth? Come on, if its paint on paint, its a litte tricky, but there are all kinds of solvents to take off decals, labels and everything else. At the worst, disassembly and a heat gun might be required.
Besides, who owns a DVR anyways??? I thought they were all leased, like cable modems (in most cases).
I use my DS (I actually have two) as my alarm clock. It works very well for me, I live in florida and when its stormy I lose power frequently. the battery charge lasts more than a week, as its in standby 23.8 hours of the day. Sometimes I'll grab it for some mariokart, but I'd rather play on my Mac. I'm looking at chipping my wii here in a few weeks, unless nintendo provides a compelling argument to stay legit for online games. We'll see.
America West (HP) is not American Airlines (AA) In fact, recently (ok, a year or so ago) America West merged with US Airways. America West is (was) a carrier based out of Phoenix and Las Vegas. Last I heard, they weren't even partners on code shares.
Are you guys checking your NTSC/PAL settings? it sounds like you've got the game trying to force 50hz over 60hz or vice versa. I've never messed with PAL, being an american, but I understand this is a common issue. I also don't know if UK Wiis have some way to sense the screen refresh of the TV its connected to. Probably not over the standard composite connection.
Yes, you can. Not necessarily the same story, but it's hard to top Marathon. Some would also mention Half Life. Different approach to storytelling, but still no FMVs to sit through.
It's really too bad the name Aleph One is taken. A game with the definition of "the number after infinity" would be fitting to DNF. Ok, the definition is a rough idea:P, but it fits in the context it was meant to.
Has anyone seen my wheelbarrow full of money that I can blow on a pipe dream?
Limiting prints of CDs won't help them. If someone wants a hard copy of an album, but can't purchase it in a store, where's the next place they'll look?.ISO on the net? Why buy a lower quality iTunes rip of a cd? Even if the person eventually finds a hard copy of the CD they want, the labels still don't make money on the people who couldn't find one.
Limited CD prints will only drive up 2nd hand sales, at best. Its not like people are going to pay $50 for a CD, at least not very many people.
Music is controlled by cartels, but they don't seem to realize that they can't create artificial demand by controlling supply, because the supply isn't truly a physical object. You can give them credit for trying to act like thugs and druglords though.
Nothing there was a lie. 12/27/06-1/3/07 I was in Ohio (Perrysburg). It was my first time to the state, and it was cold, around 38 degrees F. No snow though, which I was told to be unusual.
Well, you Canucks need to join the 21st Century and jump on this separatist, crusading "Anti-Terrorism" bandwagon. Tow that line before you're suspected of harboring (more) "terrorists!"
I live in St Pete, and in the gulf where i'm at (Pass a Grille Beach), the water was recorded at 68*F a short time ago. It's January! I just got back from a trip to Ohio and there would have been fucking in the streets for 68 degrees!
All climate monitoring aside, cooling mineral oil seems like the most elegant solution, save for having to seal up a ATX case:P Anyone know if mineral oil eats silicone?
It really is a shame there isn't a big glass cased red button for that. I'd imagine its related to the doctrine that mankind is the sole owner of the earth, save for (deity). Thus all else, vertibrates and otherwise, get the big fuck you.
Hindsight is 20/20, and I wish I had a time machine to see if I needed to militantly start changing things now, ya know?
Hey, my Mom found one (in Tacoma, WA). You sir are not trying hard enough. Stop posting to/. and call an electronics store or two.
For the record, she scored one at a Fred Meyer on a Sunday (supposedly a shipment day), she got one of three. Then again, she also tends to get up before noon on a sunday, so GLHF. (sorry for the generalization)
I'm not saying camp out, but just do a little research. School was supposed to teach you how to do that.
Does that mean I'll be lusting after 18 yr old girls when I hit 45?Duh? Although, I'd like to think when I'm 45 I'll be going after 21-25 year olds. 18 is a tad young sometimes.
I still haven't been able to find any information on what MS is actually distributing. File sizes, compression, nothing. I'm wondering how much of the quite small Xbox HD will be taken up by these video files. I'm still wondering if the quality is really there, but by several accounts no one's been able to watch because they haven't finished downloading:P
I have wondered quite a bit how Microsoft runs the proxy caches for this service and how they are ensuring that their end consumers are not creating high amounts of internet traffic while downloading HD video.
Isn't a full HD rip of a 1 hour show a few gigs? It would seem MS is selling compressed files, wouldn't it? I can't imagine anyone really using this, with the exception of premium channels, because digital cable isn't really that expensive. Even if you're in an area without cable service, (lets say you had broadband, but DSL only) there's still the option of satellite (speaking about the US of course:P).
This whole deal appears to be Microsoft's attempt at consolidating multiple forms of entertainment under its own service. They aren't the first, but they're launching a VOD service on a game console with only 20 GB of storage space (or 0GB of storage space if you have a stock Core X360:P).
Stephen Colbert's persona (the one he uses on The Colbert Report) doesn't equate to someone with a Doctorate. The show isn't called, "Dr. Colbert plays the Devil's Advocate for Haw-Haws." He plays himself as a showboating ass, therein lies the comedy.
You comment on people calling themselves doctors when they aren't medical doctors is asinine. You wouldn't call someone with a PhD in Physics a doctor? How about Mr. Martin Luther King (plagiarism conspiracy theories aside)?

...given that he owns/runs Dell, he has plenty of backups if one craps out (or bursts into flame, rumor du jour).

yeah, just drop a zero from whatever the mil-spec equivalent costs.

There isn't an "a" in Lunch.
No? Wait... What do you do during your lunch break?
I always thought thats why fast food was built to be eaten with one hand...

WMD wasn't a buzzword yet. At least, not like it is now.
...Originalism. There are a couple of wildly differing ideas there, but I believe the "Original Intent" theory is what you're going for.
